Izzo's is opening a restaurant here in Bossier city at the end of the Month. I had never even heard of this place until a buddy of mine (ex lsu student) told me how wonderful their food is. Of course i dont trust him.

Izzo's and Chipotle are both a cut above Moe's. I like Chipotle. They do what they do well. Their guacamole is really good. I think Izzo's is a notch above them, based on having more options. You get one choice of tortilla flavors at Chipotle (flour), while Izzo's has 4 (flour, wheat, cayenne and spinach). Toppings at both places are very fresh. Again, Izzo's has more variety like fresh jalepenos, sauteed onions, grilled mushrooms, none of which you can get at Chipotle. I like Izzo's house made sauces (illegal and Habenero). Chipotle has Tabasco bottles. Izzo's pork > Chipotle's pork. Chipotle's chicken > Izzo's chicken. Steak is a wash. Izzo's has grilled shrimp. Izzo's has queso.

Chipotle is probably the closest to Izzo's in terms of fresh ingredients, but Izzo's takes it beyond with more options. That said, I rarely leave Chipotle disappointed either. But I do like having the other choices at Izzo's.
